"...a towering figure in the world of experimental theater... Mr. Wilson is a paradigm of precision."

—The New York Times

Vindication and malicious intents have never been more
rapturous than in director Robert Wilson's Quartett. Written by German playwright Heiner Müller
(as a highly condensed adaptation of the 18th-century French
novel Les Liaisons dangereuses), this
work is an extraordinary expression of innocence lost.

The incomparable French actress Isabelle Huppert
(I ♥ Huckabees, 8
Women, The Piano Teacher) is
the toxic Marquise de Merteuil, seething with fury opposite her
perverse partner in crime Valmont, played with marvelous
physicality by Ariel Garcia Valdès. As Wilson unfurls his stylized
choreography and tableaux motifs with stark sounds and saturated
colors, he transforms every calculated movement into gorgeous and
provocative studies of character.
